Petitions to watch | Conference of April 20, 2012

At its April 20, 2012 Conference, the Court will consider such issues as the weight accorded to an arbitration decision under Title VII, the standing of members of a class action, a public employee’s First Amendment right of association, and the standard of appellate review for Brady decisions.  This edition of “Petitions to watch” features petitions raising issues that Tom has determined to have a reasonable chance of being granted, although we post them here without consideration of whether they present appropriate vehicles in which to decide those issues.  The full list of our “Petitions to watch” for the April 13 and April 20 Conferences can be found here.  Any cases that are relisted following the April 13 Conference will be added to this list once that information is available.
